Chapter 1164
Chapter 1164: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (20)
When Qiao Lian woke up, she found herself in a truck.
The vehicle’s loud rumble and low drone hummed continually in her ears.
She could feel the pain and soreness in the back of her neck and, when she opened her eyes, all she saw was pitch dark. She couldn’t see clearly.
Trying to recall what had happened, she heard Lu Nanze’s anxious voice, “Are you awake? Do you feel unwell in any way?”
Qiao Lian turned at once and saw Lu Nanze sitting next to her.
She made an effort to get up, but both her hands and feet were bound by ropes and she wasn’t able to get up. She had to make one little movement at a time to finally sit up.
Then she saw that Lu Nanze was in the same plight.
Both his hands and feet were tied.
Looking at Lu Nanze, she took a deep breath and said after a pause, “What is going on? Whose men are these?”
Lu Nanze immediately shook his head.
Qiao Lian frowned and said, “Could they be planning to abduct you and then ask for a ransome? Lu Nanze, it’s all your fault, now you’ve gotten me into this!”
Lu Nanze said at once, “I’m sorry, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
His words were exceptionally firm.
There was a reassuring strength in them.
Qiao Lian nodded. Then she put her eye to the crack between the doors at the back of the truck.
They were traveling on a small road and it looked like they were in a remote area.
But where were these people taking them?
They had kidnapped Lu Nanze, possibly for ransom money. So later on, would they leave Lu Nanze there and make her go get the money?
She was pregnant and she couldn’t take risks.
But the moment she had this thought, she immediately felt bad.
They were in the same pot of hot soup, how could she abandon him?
The truck pulled to a stop finally, as she was contemplating the situation.
Right now, there was still light. It didn’t look like it was past 7 p.m.
They had left work at 5 p.m. and were kidnapped then. Up till now, they had been traveling only two hours. They couldn’t be too far from Suzhou.
She made a quick mental assessment of the situation, and then saw the doors of the back compartment of the truck swing open. Following this, she was treated like a chicken, picked up and thrown out of the truck.
It was fortunate that her reflexes were quick, otherwise she would have fallen on the ground.
She bit her lip and saw that Lu Nanze was being thrown out as well.
Even though abducted, the man kept his devilishly charming temperament, that faint smile never left his face. He acted like he was on a tour.
Eyeing the men, he said, “Go on, say how much money you’re after? I can afford it.”
When he said this, the men immediately exchanged looks with each other. After a pause they looked at him and said, “We’re after her, not you! If you can assure us you won’t cause us trouble, we’ll let you go. Let’s not get in each other’s path, what do you think?”
Qiao Lian immediately looked up, astonished by what she heard.
What?!
These people were out to kidnap her and not him?!
Whom had she, Qiao Lian, offended?!
And…
She looked at Lu Nanze in panic and fear.
She was done for.
For sure, these people didn’t dare offend him, hence those words. Now the most logical way forward was for Lu Nanze to go and get help to rescue her. But with him gone, who was going to guarantee her safety for the next two hours?
